This campsite is set in a lovely wooded location along the banks of the Loire River, offering a pleasant, green, and relaxing atmosphere with proximity to Angers and many attractions. The on-site guinguette (snack bar) is a highlight, providing good food and a great ambiance, though it may close on rainy Sundays and has limited, pricey choices. The swimming pool is appreciated, but it may be closed in June. Bike rentals are available, making it a good base for cycling along the Loire. The staff is consistently praised for being friendly, welcoming, and flexible, even outside regular hours. However, noise is a recurring issue, with disturbances from other campers partying late, nearby traffic, a tennis court, or the restaurant. Sanitary blocks are noted as outdated and sometimes distant, though overall cleanliness is generally good. The kids' play area and promised mini-farm were not as advertised, disappointing families. Mosquitoes can be a nuisance due to the riverside location. The campsite is calm and tranquil, especially on weekdays, but the proximity of tents can mean hearing noisy neighbors, and the lack of nearby shops means stock up before arrival. Overall, it offers good value for money with a nice balance of nature and comfort, though noise management and facility upkeep need improvement. The campsite has a strong eco-friendly ethos with recycling and compost initiatives. Some pitches are spacious and shaded, but others are small and lack privacy. The sanitary facilities are a common complaint, described as outdated, insufficient, and in need of renovation. Toilets are often too few, with some squat toilets, and water pressure and temperature can be inconsistent. The swimming pool is a key feature but often cold and unheated. The campsite is family-friendly with a playground and bike rental. The on-site restaurant and bar are popular but have limited opening hours. Guests appreciate the comfortable lodges and bivouac tents. The campsite is well placed for exploring the region, with easy access to Angers by bus or bike. The staff are consistently described as warm, attentive, and friendly. The on-site shop is very limited and expensive. Wi-Fi is weak in cabins but better on the terrace. Pitches can be tight for vans or motorhomes, and access roads have a weight limit of 3.5 tons. The site is conveniently situated close to a river and has a bus stop opposite for easy travel into town.
